The hotel covered two city blocks and contained the very best accommodation available in the Tapani Sector. It also contained an elaborate garden, an aviary, two dance halls, a sports center, an art gallery, several restaurants and bars as well as a complete business center.
The Grand Royal Hotel was very exclusive. Typically only sector nobles or those recommended by one could get a room. During Capital Season the establishment was generally fully booked.
By law only an establishment or business that was established during or before the Dynastic Era was entitled to call itself "royal". The Grand Royal Hotel was one such business that indicated that it was at least 2000 years old.
